SCHOOL LEGISLATION.

Senate bill No 60, TO provide for the
maintenance and Supervision. of public
schools, introduced by Mr.. Fish Janu-
airy Gath, provides for the appoItion-
ment OF public school moneys in accor-
dance with the law which was in force
previous to 1885, that is, twenty-five per
dent. of the funds must be apportioned
equally to each district upon the basis
of one hundred census children, or frac-
ton thereof, instead of forty per cent.
as is required by the Act of 1855.
Section 2, provides for the election of
school trustees in My, and is almost
an exact counterpart of the Act ap-
proved March IL, 1885, which was de-
oIared unconstitutional in October 1885,
the only material difference being in the
election of trustees in districts entitled
to five trustees, in which case the bill in
question provides that two trustees shall
he elected for four years. one for three
years, Que for two years aud one for one
year. |'..'
B1r. Fish, bill is fatally defective for
che reason that, except in new DISTRICTS
or in,case Of a vacancy in au cid one,
no time is designated when trustees
elected in accordance, with the Act shall
take possession Of the Office, and hence
the bill is subject to the same objection
khof IaA la 81
of the school trustees of the State were
elected to serve for four years at the,
last general election, have qualified &C.
cording to law and are now serving in
pursuance of such election. Cau the
Legislature summarily GUST them. from
the positions to which they were legally
elected by the people? We think not.
But even if they could be dispossessed,
~ before remarked the law ia defective
IN not designating when the newly elect
ed trustees shall assume the duties Of
the office.
1t seems singular that no progressive
legislation in behalf of education can he
had, and brief glance at the Acts of
the Legislature Of 1855 shows what
was accomplished. in, educational leg
islstion' by that body. First, they
enact II law to apportion. forty per cent
VI all school moneys equally amoung
the districts, whether they have ten or
hundred. children, for the especia Il
benefit of districts having but few census
children, then they enact law to de-
prkYe districts having but few children
Of every dollar of their proportion of
county school funds; law Was snacted,
similar to Senate. bill No. 63, which
proved to be unconstitutional, and to
cap the climax Of their alduous labors
in behalf of the children of the State
tho law which, prevented trustees from
involving their districts in debt was re-
pealcd. This law, which was one of th q
hest amoung the laws of the State: mnd
which, has done more than all others to
place school districts upon u sound
financial basis. Was for some unne-
couniRble' reason. stricken, from, the
statute beoks.
Mr.. Fish's bill, II property amended,
may be Wise measure but in its pres
ent form 1t will prove a failure az did

boy about seven ysars Of age who seem
Ell to be possessed Of an evil spirit He
would not sit nor stand still. He didn't
want apples or candy. He couldn't be

his kicking and whining seemed to wear

felt called upon to observe.

looked around in a helpless way and
said:
Well, you may try. Not too vigorous
but Just vigorous enough.

up, laid him across his knee, and the

set him down. That's better than all
